Let's be honest
Movies based on games are usually rubbish, even with the mountains of possible plot and angry characters in God Of War, we just can't imagine it being in a film.

We're still not used to the subsequent years after a video game franchise not being "oh-something"
Meh, whatever. Here's the first trailer for FIFA 10. Apparently it's all using in-game graphics — we presume the slow-down and depth of field effects won't be present in the final product. We loved FIFA 09 though, we just hope they can fix the...

News Floating Rumours Hint At Blacklisting For Any Fighters Who Appear In EA's MMA
A rumour spawning from the mixedmartialarts
com</a> forums suggests that any fighters looking to join EA's upcoming MMA release will be blacklisted by the UFC. So essentially, any fighter that signs up to MMA will never be endorsed by the UFC. Considering the sales of UFC 2009 Undisputed it kind of makes sense. But it all just seems a bit...

We've been really interested in DJ Hero
The music sounds good, the gameplay looks good and the controller seems like it'll be a lot of fun.

The US version is priced at $120 which is bad enough, but the UK version would equal an enormous...

News Damnation Developers Laid Off In Their Entirety
We thought Damnation was pretty terrible to be honest
It had a saving grace in its level design and platforming. Sadly, pretty much every other element of the game fell short. As a shorter PSN release Damnation could have worked, but as a retail experience, sadly not. And sales conclude the game wasn't the biggest success story. As such, Kotaku have...
